Who would have thought a diet high in fat and full of beer could reduce methane emissions from dairy cows.
That's exactly what a group of scientists from the Department of Primary Industries has discovered.
It's the latest research in the fight against reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
DPI Dairy Nutrition Scientist Dr Peter Moate, says a number of feed supplements including cotton seed and brewers grain can be fed to cattle.
"An average dairy cow produces 500 to 600 grams of methane a day. If we feed a typical amount of supplement, about three kilograms in the summer, we could reduce methane emissions by about 12 per cent.
"We can put cows in special chambers and measure the methane emissions, or we can put a device around their neck and measure the gases that they burp out.
"As long as we keep the dietary fat concentration below seven per cent, it doesn't reduce the feed intake. And indeed if we feed these high fat supplements in summer, we tend to get an increase in milk yield."Mon, 23 May 2011 13:41:00 +1000\xmlcontent\201105\3224323.xmlABC Radio MelbournemelbourneEnvironment:All:AllEnvironment:Climate Change:AllEnvironment:Environmental Management:AllEnvironment:Pollution:Air PollutionRural:All:AllRural:Livestock:AllRural:Livestock:Dairy ProductionEnvironment:Environmental Impact:AllAustralia:VIC:Melbourne 3000Carbon sequestration - what's in it for landholders?http://www.abc.net.au/rural/vic/content/2011/04/s3189437.htm?source=rss
Ever thought about planting trees for the purpose of the removal and storage of carbon?
Dr Lyndall Bull, ANU Research Fellow and board member of the Cooperative Research Centre, says trees can be planted anywhere on a property.
"But obviously the faster a tree grows the more carbon its going to sequester and a tree is going to grow better if its on your more productive land.
"We undertook some research in rural NSW and we spoke to landowners as well as surveying them and our survey results told us that 67 per cent of people were willing to consider it but hadn't necessarily looked at it previously.
"Another 10 per cent said they actually were actively considering it and then about four per cent of our respondents had actually planted trees for carbon sequestration."
So what are the incentives?
"The main reason landholders may often choose to plant trees for carbon sequestration is an economic one. That they hope they can sell the carbon credits from the carbon they sequester and earn money.
"Many of them also expressed interests in the co-benefits including shade and shelter for stock, providing habitat for birds and animals, reducing salinity, improving land degradation and that sort of thing."Tue, 12 Apr 2011 15:07:00 +1000\xmlcontent\201104\3189437.xmlABC Radio MelbournemelbourneEnvironment:All:AllEnvironment:Climate Change:AllEnvironment:Environmental Management:AllEnvironment:Pollution:Air PollutionRural:All:AllEnvironment:Environmental Impact:AllEnvironment:Land Management:AllAustralia:VIC:Melbourne 3000Scientists monitor toxic air-borne chemicalshttp://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/03/28/3175339.htm?source=rss
